Muling in Worldstone Manager (Cactus)

What is are the best practices and method used to mule items off/on to characters?

My guess would be to create a TCP/IP game and log into it with the mule.

How do you mule items and bonus for how to keep everything organized and accounted for. I had previous issues with items being hard to find between too many miles on my older account.

Yea TCP/IP after installing Singling into your Worldstones so that you can run multiple instances.

I just competed my first muling session using TCP/IP and multi-instance with singling upgrade. I'm not sure if my method was correct so I will post it here for critique:

-Selected the shard containing the items that need to be muled off
-Select clone
-Summon each shard then alt+enter into windowed mode
-Select the character with the items that need muling and create a TCP/IP game
-Create a mule on second windowed shard and join the TCP/IP game
-Mule the items
-Save and exit on the mule
-Save and exit on the character that created the game
-Leave both shards alive in cactus
-Label the cloned shard as a mule shard?? Or maybe make a note for each shard that they are linked??

Still have no yet tried to change the backup directory location. Will need to consult the readme.

No need to have two separate shards for this purpose. If a shard has the same Worldstone and Shard values they are considered Aliases of each other and are the same shard. Since you have Singling installed, you can just use the same shard to open up multiple instances of the game. You may want to have a second shard so you can run everything after the first one without sound using -ns, cause if you open all of them with sound you are gonna hear a lot of sound from each window lol.

The other steps look good. I normally only play in Window Mode so it saves me a few keystrokes as well haha.

For backup path you just go to Settings and put the full path to where you want to save your backups in. Example: /home/jon/Backups.

Cactus will automatically try to create the folder and verify you have permissions for that folder.
